Communication and Safety Survey - KPD presence
Thank you to all parents who returned the Safety and Communication Survey. Each week, we will address another question or comment.
Several parents asked about having an officer present during the school day, or inquired about gate and door security. Here are a few facts to provide a better understanding. First, our KPD officers complete daily walk-throughs of our school building, sometimes more than once. The officers walk around every hallway of our school, checking doors and increasing their familiarity with the layout of Jackson Elementary. We are not permitted to lock all of our gates, due to the possibility of a necessary evacuation; however, we do ask KINDERGARTEN families picking up at 3:05 to not enter school property until that time. Teachers on the playground have walkie talkie's and are in constant communication with our main office, if needed. Last, we will now have KPD presence at our Field Day on Thursday, October 25th. We are working toward the goal of safety for our students, all day, every day. Thank you for your questions and comments!
Many more questions and comments were made and we appreciate this feedback. BOLO for more information each week!
